This ball originates from a former minor league player who must have been invited to spring training in 1937 as he never made it to the major leagues. Vern Voegler was the name of the player and he played in the Dodgers minor league system throughout the mid-1930s...I have other autographed balls of his that are not for sale, but do help with provenance on the ball...they are the Beatrice (NE) Blues and Clinton (IA) Owls - both Dodger affiliated teams.
The big signature on the ball is Heinie Manush...also signed by Cookie Lavagetto, Babe Phelps, Tom Winsett, Woody English, Watson Clark, Jim Bucher, Andy High (may have been a coach at the time since he was retired in 1934), Paul Chervinko (signed it twice), Tony Malinosky, Jake Daniel, Fred Frankhouse, Joe Stripp, Buddy Hassett, John Cooney, Roy Henshaw, and there are a few names on here that I can not decipher.
This ball is an official Ford Frick baseball and comes with the original Spalding box that it has been stored in for 70 years.
